Pesticide Container Recycling

Effingham Equity in cooperation with the Illinois Dept. of Ag will host a single-day pesticide jug collection site at their Montrose and Pana Branches. Pesticide users can bring containers for granulation and shipment to a national contractor that utilizes the plastic for the manufacure of other agrichemical-related products. Over 1.6 million pounds of plastic have been collected since the program started more than 20 years ago.
